birthday escapades

i wanted to talk about my birthday. but there were too many places and escapades to discuss. and plus, i didn't want to blab too much. so here, i ' ll just post the places and write briefly about what i did [perhaps, i can link you to the places i went to].

july 27, 2002, saturday
*justin's baptism ( my godson)
* reception at newtown buffet at burbank, california
[i saw old friends from all the way in high school. it's funny how it was so much like high school reunion. ]

then with charm....
*shop at beverly center in beverly hills
[charm paid for everything i shoppedm she even wouldn't let me take out a single dollar on my wallet. thanks, charm]
* toni roma's restaurant, beverly hills, ca.
[charm insisted that we had dinner here. then i found out that my other friends were there waiting for me. apparently, they all pitched in for the dinner. again, i didn't spend a single cent.]

after the dinner...
* headed to redondo beach at this asian club named "chiller's."
[my friend from DMK productions hooked us all up with free drinks all night looooong. as you can imagine, i was drunk. i couldn't even drive home.]

july 28, 2002 sunday
mickey and sheila planned this trip. so we went here

*at santa barbara
we shopped at * el paseo and had lunch there.
then invaded the cabrillo beach at carpinteria state beach in carpinteria

MY SILENT REVERIES
writing is my passion. i created silent reveries years ago to vent out things i could not tell the world. it was my private, modern tech approach to scribbling my thoughts and emotions in a journal. in here, i can feely be who i am. i could cry my woes, i can love freely, i can grieve over a broken heart, i can celebrate the joys in my heart, i can rejoice with my accomplishments, i can tell stories of remarkable friendships and unforgettable connections i made with extraordinary people SECRETLY AND SILENTLY without worrying people might judge me. i hid under the name PINAY FREESTYLE.

but eventually, some people gained access to my secret place. so i opened my doors to them in the purpose that i could inspire them: to be better versions of themselves and to share themselves to the world. slowly, i embraced my readers as a part of my life. i welcomed the strange idea that my untold life stories and unconcealed revelations could be of help to others, to love and accept themselves as they are. and i, i came out from the animosity. i eventually became just the regular LEN - the nickname my family & friends call me.

i developed stories of love, of letting go, of falling in love all over again. i made great friendships. but if there's one thing i was particularly proud of, it was my undenying love for the LORD. i wrote and made soul searching, heart wrenching entries i entitled, "SPIRITUAL REVERIES" which you will find many here. it was my productive way to heal myself from twinge and while i am at it, i could also mend others spirits along the way and bring them back up to par with their faith and relationships with God. it has not stop there. it's still a constant journey.

and so, for as long as i can, i vowed to tell my memorable reflections,i have unmasked the hidden me. and the seeking and searching of life's meaning and purpose is not over. LIFE is a long road of discovering. and i still yet to discover many wonders of this world and satisfy my unending curiosity. but be warned. you can either love me or hate me. but i don't care. this is me: sripped and bare as i can be.

so i invite you into my chaotic unperfect world. join me in my whirlwind new travels of diving into the unknowns. let me share my life with you all over again. come in, as i tell you my SILENT REVERIES.

love,
len


DISCOVER ME: who is the lady behind the blogs?



"I want to have a personal light, the glow of oneself that comes from sheer willpower, the light of someone who has made important sacrifices in the name of things I think are important."

---Paulo Coelho's "Eleven Minutes"

my name is len. people always tend to judge me without discovering who i really am. i might look intimidating, a typical shop girl, and i act like a crazy party girl on the weekend. but i actually have brains. and i own an even bigger heart. the truth is, beyond the louis vuitton bags, beyond the lavish parties, the excessive passion to travel and the desire to get to know the world, if you got to know the REAL ME, i am really just a simple girl. my only desire is to be loved for who i am.
